You're the Nearest Thing to Heaven - Johnny Cash


D
I have sailed the peaceful waters of the ocean deep and blue
  A7                                      D
I held my breath and watched the western sunsets golden hue
D
I've flown above the mountain peaks and valleys wide and green
               A7                D
But you're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen


CHORUS: 
D           G7                               D
You're the nearest thing to heaven yes you are
       G7                                  D
I have searched for happiness so long and far
D                                       G7
But my search for love was through the day that I found you
                  D                A7               D
Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven, yes you are


I confess that I've been tempted by a luring magic charms
When the smile was flashed my way and stood before two open arms
But I turned and walked away because I love you like I do
You're the nearest thing to heaven darlin' you

CHORUS

I have watched the silver raindrops fall to earth to cool the day
Watched the rainbow at twilight when the clouds had blown away
I love the pretty flowers but they cannot buy the worth
Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven on this earth

CHORUS
